The Greek LXX must be noted that the first century scholars from the Christian community and also the Jewish Hebrew scholars rejected that work.

The Greek king had hired 6 supposedly Hebrew scholars from each of the 12 tribes and they produced this Greek bible for the king in 72 days. After the work was completed it was rejected by the Hebrews as non authorative text and incorrect. In addition, it was rejected by the Christians as well.

So, when you see those translators relating their work back to the LXX, you'll know what to expect.

Simply religious puffery.

It sure is. the LXX was written 200 yrs BC by 72 men in 72 days and the NT didn't exist. It was only of the first five books and only a few fragments exist due to its not being used as an authoritative text.

So these quotations and saying the original Greek from the LXX is authoritative is bunk. Use the Bible. How much Greek and Hebrew do you read, write and speak anyway?

Your previous post was what I was referring to as religious puffery. I know you are a KJVOist and I will pray for you.
